Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Locustville who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
