Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Gadsden who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
