Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in North Adams who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
