Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Manteno who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and 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 must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
