Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Moneta who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
