Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Columbia who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. 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 effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
