Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Oswego who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior 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 and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
