Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Reseda who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
