Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Hubertus, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Hubertus who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method 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 using activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
