Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Rush Springs who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
