Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Norwich who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
