Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Goree, TX.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Goree who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
