Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Winnebago who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
