Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Norfork, AR.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Norfork who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
