Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Clanton who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like 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 successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on 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 moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
