Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Sarita, TX.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Sarita who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
