Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Mckinney who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. 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 effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
