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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Grenloch who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was brought on 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 receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
