Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Quakertown who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
