Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Cicero who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to 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.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
