Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Oregon House who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and 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 prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
