Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Downers Grove who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
