Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Sarasota who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction since 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 prescription pain killers.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
