Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Falun who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior 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 receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
