Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Bakersfield who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
