Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Huntsville who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
