Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Medford who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
