Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in O Brien who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
