Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Merrillville who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
