Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Schenectady who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
