Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Oologah who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
