Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Eau Claire who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
