Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Roy, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Roy who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking 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 successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
