Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Dubre who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
