Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Artemas who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to 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 prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
