Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Morley, MO.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Morley who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons 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 must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
