Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Batson, TX.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Batson who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should know 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 detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
