Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Kevin who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
