Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Maywood who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
