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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Toutle who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates 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 other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
