Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Agra, OK.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Agra who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
