Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Kabetogama, MN.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Kabetogama who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall 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 satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
