Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Valley Falls, KS.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Valley Falls who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors 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.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
