Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Mobile who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was brought on 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 neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
