Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Commerce who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors 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.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
