Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Marion who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
