Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Hartshorne who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which 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.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
