Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Stevenson who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
