Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Manteca who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven 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. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
