Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in New Braunfels who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities 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 and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
