Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Addington who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
