Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Montgomery who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
