Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Cameron, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Cameron who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
