Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Cranberry Township who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
