Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Asheville who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered 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 and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
