Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Coudersport who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
