Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Burt Lake who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to 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 other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to know 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 some detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
