Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Chico who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
