Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Pikeville who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
