Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Macdoel who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same 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 must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
