Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Perry who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
