Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Glenview who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was driven 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 neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
