Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Bradley Beach, NJ.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Bradley Beach who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like 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 replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
