Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Malden Bridge who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
