Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Ogden who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
