Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Mesa who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
