Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Stratford who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
