Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Cadott, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Cadott who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
