Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Manderson, SD.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Manderson who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
