Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Eastman who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
