Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Melvin who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
