Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Arapaho who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons 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 involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
