Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Corbin who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates 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 prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
