Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Rochester who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
