Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Springfield who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates 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 from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
