Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Miltonvale who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
