Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Evansville who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction because 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. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
