Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Lidderdale who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
