Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Lodi who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
