Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Buford who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
