Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Fort Oglethorpe who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven 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 and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
