Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Chicopee who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
