Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Wakpala, SD.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Wakpala who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates 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 other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
