Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Salisbury who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was driven 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 which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
