Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Charlestown who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
