Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Spencerville who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful 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 may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
