Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Hawaiian Gardens who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction due to 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 receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
