Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Sioux Falls who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like 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 replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
