Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Prairie Du Rocher who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural 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 have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
