Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Grand Ronde who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
