Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Paintsville who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
