Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Greenwich who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
