Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Garfield who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural 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.
People involved in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
