Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Tigrett who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking 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 replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
