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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Waring who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like 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 powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
