Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Grand Bay who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should 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 some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
