Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Liverpool who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
