Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Glidden who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
