Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in St. Xavier who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to 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 successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
