Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Roswell who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors 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.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
