Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Vandergrift who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates 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.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
