Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Salem who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
