Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Stockbridge who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
