Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Gilbertville who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
