Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Tarrytown who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
