Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Dyersburg 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 concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
