Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Pine Forest who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies 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 replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
