Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Yukon who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
