Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Lenapah who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing 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 activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
