Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Covington who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
