Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Trenton who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to 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 substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
