Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Arlington who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
