Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Edenville who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. 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 replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
