Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Mahaska who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should realize 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 detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
