Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in El Paso who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
