Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Diomede who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
