Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Bessie who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates 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 other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
