Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Bergland who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction because 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. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
