Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Bloomer, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Bloomer who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
