Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Ray who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
