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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Troy who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method 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 using activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
