Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Bromide, OK.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Bromide who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
