Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Wildwood who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was caused 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. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
