Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Chefornak who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
