Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Rock Island who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. 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 other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
