Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in East Orange who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it 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 choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
