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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Paxico who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. 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 successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
