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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Wilsey who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
