Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Tekoa who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
