Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in White Cloud who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
