Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Bradenton who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning 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 detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
