Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Moore, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Moore who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
