Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Husum, WA.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Husum who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
