Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Murrieta who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was driven 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 activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
