Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Kankakee who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
