Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Lacrosse who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates 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.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
