Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Harrisburg who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
