Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Rutland who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
