Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Denton who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
