Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Estell Manor who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
