Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Fresh Meadows who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like 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 effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
