Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Greycliff who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
