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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Vaughn who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
