Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Greenfield who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. 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 successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
