Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Perry who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
