Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Grouse Creek, UT.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Grouse Creek who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same 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 therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
