Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Hanapepe, HI.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Hanapepe who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
