Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Estacada who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that people are no longer involved 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. 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 prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
