Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Buena Vista who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
