Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Campbellsport, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Campbellsport who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
