Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Annapolis who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
