Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Pittsville who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
