Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Castro Valley who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
