Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Frisco, TX.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Frisco who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that people are no longer wrapped up 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 which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
