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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Waka who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
