Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Lopez Island who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need 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 certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
