Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Glenwood Springs who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
