Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Hayward who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like 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 successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
