Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Rochester who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to 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 prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
