Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Oysterville who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
