Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Vancouver who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons 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.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
