Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Evanston who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
