Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Albuquerque, NM.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Albuquerque who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
