Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Waycross who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
