Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Dobbin, TX.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Dobbin 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 individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction since 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 receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
