Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Bazine, KS.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Bazine who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking 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 powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
