Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Burnsville who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like 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 substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
