Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Honolulu who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
