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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Hustler who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
