Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Palisades who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
