Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Glendale who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
