Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Pendroy, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Pendroy who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
