Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Hot Springs National Park who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
