Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Newburgh who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction because 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 successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
