Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Bennington who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
