Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Fort Lauderdale who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
