Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Tahuya who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking 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 other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
