Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Pharr who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
