Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Bladen, NE.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Bladen who are dependent on 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 engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
