Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Cleveland who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which 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 involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact 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 will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
