Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Canaan who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
