Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Dearborn Heights who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall 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 satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
