Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Meadville who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
