Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Bainbridge who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
