Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Grand Junction who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
