Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Rochdale 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 involved in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is known to be 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 detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
