Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Jamaica who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
