Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Saltillo 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 overall notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
