Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Molt, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Molt who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
