Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Inavale, NE.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Inavale who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking 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 and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
