Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Cottonwood who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. 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 prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
