Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Hopkinton who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general 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. 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 involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
