Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Everett 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 concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
