Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Hickory Valley who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction since 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 receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
