Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Roseville who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
