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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Tabor who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
