Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Normal who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
