Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Okemah who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
