Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Harbor City who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
