Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Rockland who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
