Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Somerville who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to 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 replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
