Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Bridgeton who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
