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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Ringling who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept 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. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
