Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Bridgeport who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
