Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Trumbull, NE.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Trumbull who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 other prescription opioids.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
