Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Monument Valley who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
