Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Danbury who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
