Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Colorado Springs who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
