Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Sumatra, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Sumatra who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer engaged 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. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
