Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Kohler, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Kohler who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction because 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. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact 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 many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
