Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in North Haven who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was brought on 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 stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
