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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Brill who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
