Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Columbus who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates 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 have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
