Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in East Peoria who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
