Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Jasper who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was caused 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 activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
