Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in East Tawas who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was driven 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 activates the same receptors 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.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
