Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Los Angeles, CA.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Los Angeles who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
