Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - High Bridge, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in High Bridge who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
