Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Charleroi who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was caused 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 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.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
