Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Lakin, KS.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Lakin 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 overall notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
