Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Lancaster who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
