Maintenance treatment is a form of treatment done to prevent an individual’s addiction from getting worse. Maintenance treatment is commonly used to stop the individual from experiencing withdrawal symptoms or cravings that could trigger a relapse.
This methodology refers to a long-term approach to managing addiction, usually for individuals largely struggling with opioid dependence. This approach involves the use of medication, such as methadone or buprenorphine to get you through the withdrawal phase and then help maintain your recovery over an extended period of time. These medications work by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms making it easier for you to focus on your recovery.
The use of maintenance treatment has a long history. Methadone maintenance, for example, dates back to the 1960s when it was introduced as a way to manage heroin addiction. Over the years, research has shown that maintenance treatment can significantly reduce illicit opioid use, lower the risk of relapse and improve overall quality of life for individuals in recovery.
