Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Warner Robins who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
