Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Marion who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
