Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Richmond who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
