Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Chatsworth who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates 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 successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
