Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Scottsdale who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
