Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Millsboro who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form 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 seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
