Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Zenda who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis 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, someone beginning methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
