Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Silver Creek, NE.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Silver Creek who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
