Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Harborton who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
