Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Clearfield who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
