Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Paterson who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates 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 other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
