Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Clarksburg who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
