Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Elk Garden who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
