Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Darien who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
