Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Lake Charles who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors 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.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
