Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Escalante who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
