Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Trempealeau who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
