Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Eola who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept 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. Like 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 replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
