Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Buena Vista who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
