Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Irvington who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
