Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Annandale who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
