Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Talihina who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
