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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Wapanucka who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients 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 symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
