Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Williamsburg who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
