Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Tempe who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and 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 might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
