Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Allenwood who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize 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 accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
