Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Columbus who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to 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 powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
