Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Rocky Mount who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. 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 effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
