Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Caballo who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors 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.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
