Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Stone Park who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
