Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Memphis who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
