Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Santa Rosa who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
