Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Jacksonville who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was caused 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 activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact 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 programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
