Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Toms River who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
