Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Essex who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was caused 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 which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
