Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Welch, TX.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Welch who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies 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 successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact 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 centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
