Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Mount Pleasant who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
