Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Morgantown who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
