Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Jonesboro who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
