Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Green Bay who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on 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 stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
