Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Clallam Bay who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction because 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 effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
