Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Charlton Heights 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 individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was driven 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 neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
