Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Manchester who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates 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.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone 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 detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
