Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Kennett Square 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 general notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. 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.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
