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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Paron who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
