Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Waukomis, OK.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Waukomis who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
