Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Providence who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
