Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Saginaw who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that individuals 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. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
