Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Willimantic who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and 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 take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
