Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Gainesville who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
