Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Bois D Arc who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
