Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Fredericksburg who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
