Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Bridgeport who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
