Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Starrucca 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 concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
