Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in State College 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 individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons 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.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
