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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Springdale who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
