Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Newport News who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
