Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Salt Lake City who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates 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 involved in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
