Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Kingman who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily 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. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
