Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Phillipsburg who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
