Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Wheaton who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
