Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Gary who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was brought on 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 which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
