Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Cassville, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Cassville who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing 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 neurons 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.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
