Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Turner, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Turner who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates 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 other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
