Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Mercer who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
