Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Takotna who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
