Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Los Ebanos, TX.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Los Ebanos who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Patients involved in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
