Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Lawrence who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
