Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Blairsville who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
