Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Gaylord who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
