Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Cecil, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Cecil who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
