Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Correctionville who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
