Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Jeffersonton who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities 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 stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients 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 choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
