Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Wixom who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method 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 driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
