Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Bryceville who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
