Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Jerico Springs who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
