Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Chignik Lagoon who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using behavior 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 which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
