Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Hiawatha who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
