Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Spokane who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
