Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Bronx who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
