Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Argonia who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like 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 powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
