Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Comanche, OK.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Comanche who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
