Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Industry, TX.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Industry who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer involved 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 neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
