Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Clayton who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors 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.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
