Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Williamson who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
