Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Livingston who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
