Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Carrollton who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
