Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Neosho Rapids who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients 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 find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
