Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in South Yarmouth who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. 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 substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
