Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Passaic, NJ.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Passaic who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize 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 some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
