Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Boise who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
