Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Brooklyn, NY.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Brooklyn who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 using behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
