Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Wyoming who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
