Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Hamilton who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
