Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Clinton who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
