Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Richmond Hill who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was brought on 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 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 involved in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
