Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Thorofare who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people 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 satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to 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 effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
