Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Rockford who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was driven 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 receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
