Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Clio who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was caused 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 activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
