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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Rosston 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 general concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction because 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 neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
