Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Dalworthington Gardens, TX.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Dalworthington Gardens who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
