Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Martinsburg who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence 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 because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
