Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Vilas who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
