Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Point Roberts who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven 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 neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
