Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Nashville who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities 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 and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
