Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Monroe who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
