Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Waldron 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 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. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
