Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in New Castle who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
