Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Golden Eagle who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
