Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Monument who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural 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.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
