Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in St. Nazianz who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
