Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Treece, KS.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Treece who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug using behavior 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 stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
