Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Columbia who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
