Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Denver who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence 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 since the methadone that they are being administered satiates 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 effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
