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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Terry who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons 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.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
