Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Forestville who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily 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. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
