Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in St. Marys who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction since 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 replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
