Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Alta Vista who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction due to 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 and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
