Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Hunker who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
