Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in St. George who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior 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 stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
