Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Austerlitz who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
