Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Bingham Canyon, UT.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Bingham Canyon who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
