Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Ramona who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior 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 which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
