Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Idaho Springs who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
