Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Kiamesha Lake who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and 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.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
