Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Conyers who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to 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 other prescription opioids.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
