Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Moclips, WA.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Moclips who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to 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 successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
