Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Des Plaines who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
