Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Nubieber, CA.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Nubieber who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors 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 every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
