Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Dublin, TX.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Dublin who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors 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 enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
