Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Friendsville who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
