Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Bannister who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. 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 successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
