Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Salinas who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
