Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Meridian who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
