Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Markesan who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
