Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in La Place who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. 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 daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
