Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Fond Du Lac who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method 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 seeking behavior 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 and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
