Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Coaldale who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was caused 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 activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
