Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Melvindale who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
