Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Summit Lake who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
