Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Rome who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
