Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Siler City 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 clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which 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 prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
