Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Frankfort who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer engaged 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. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
