Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Mercerville who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking 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 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 involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
