Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Warm Springs who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates 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 substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
