Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Jekyll Island who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
