Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Dodson who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
