Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Espanola who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
