Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Dewar who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
