Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Kennesaw who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors 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.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
