Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Albany who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on 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 which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
