Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in La Grange Park who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
