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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Raymond who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to 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 other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
