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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Zurich who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
