Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Pyatt, AR.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Pyatt who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type 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 brought on 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 successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
