Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in White Sulphur Springs who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
