Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Englishtown, NJ.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Englishtown who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detoxification 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 accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
