Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in South Holland who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to 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 neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
