Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Fleischmanns who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using activities 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 which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
