Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Jackson who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
