Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Wilson, TX.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Wilson who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
