Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Bound Brook, NJ.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Bound Brook who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
