Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Gallatin Gateway 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 notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
