Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Neihart, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Neihart who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
