Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Cartersville who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
