Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Dustin who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
