Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Sobieski who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
