Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Laredo who are 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 people are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox 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 relapse rates are considerably high.
