Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Clatskanie who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to 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 enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
