Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Bowling Green who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
