Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Hillsgrove who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
