Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Bartlesville who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was driven 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 activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
