Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Iola who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
