Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Chattanooga who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
