Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Kearny who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that people are no longer engaged 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 neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
