Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Triadelphia who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
