Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Missoula who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was driven 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 stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
