Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Nyack who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
