Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Roselle Park, NJ.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Roselle Park who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
