Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Mico, TX.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Mico who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates 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 powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
