Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Ganado who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose 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, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
