Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Canajoharie who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to 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 substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
