Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Tulsa who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to 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 powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
