Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Tukwila who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
