Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Ringgold who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
