Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Neptune who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
