Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Sula, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Sula 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 notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was caused 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 receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
