Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Savonburg, KS.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Savonburg who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
