Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Seneca who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
