Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Carolina who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
