Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Gove City, KS.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Gove City who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
