Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Madison who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
