Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Lowry Crossing, TX.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Lowry Crossing who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
