Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Clyde Hill who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
