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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Radersburg who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
