Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Holloway, MN.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Holloway who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused 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 effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
