Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Wailuku who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was driven 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 stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
