Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Bullhead City who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
