Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Fairfield who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
