Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Yonkers who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance 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 high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
