Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Vidalia who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior 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. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact 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 some detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
