Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Watsontown who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on 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 which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
