Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Aliquippa who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
