Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Davenport who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural 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.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
