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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Fremont who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up 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 activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
