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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Seymour who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
