Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Des Moines who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance 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 alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
