Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Tifton who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
