Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Sutherland Springs who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
