Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in La Push who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
