Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in New Bern who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which 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.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
