Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Upper Kalskag who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
