Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Kila who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
