Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Hauppauge who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
