Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Kinbrae, MN.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Kinbrae who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
