Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Butler who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates 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 must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
