Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Caro who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
