Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Tererro, NM.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Tererro who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons 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 have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
