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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Kingsland who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to 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 effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
