Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Bartley, NE.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Bartley who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to 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.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
