Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in El Paso who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and 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.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
