Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Cantonment who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural 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 on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
