Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Schofield Barracks who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
