Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Billings who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people 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 which stimulates 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.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
