Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Camden, NJ.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Camden who are dependent on 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 engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
