Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Palm Springs who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates 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 other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
