Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in East Meadow who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates 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 replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
