Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in New Rochelle who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was driven 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 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 take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
