Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Coatesville who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
