Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Mount Pocono who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type 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 that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
