Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Attapulgus who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
