Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Pablo who are 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 clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
