Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Owasso who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
