Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Center Line who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
