Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Newark who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
