Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in St. Cloud who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
