Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Paramus who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
