Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Ionia who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
