This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
