Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Montesano who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused 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 and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
