Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Green Sulphur Springs who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
