Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Cloutierville who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because 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 and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
