Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Fargo, OK.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Fargo who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
