Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Cullman who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
