Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Binghamton who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
