Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Jersey City who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
