Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Fort Wayne who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
