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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Muldrow who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was caused 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 and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
