Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Douglasville who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that people are no longer wrapped up 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. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
