Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in La Moille who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
