Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Gilead, NE.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Gilead who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
