Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Everton, AR.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Everton who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
