Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Standish who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
