Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Lawton who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using 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 activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
