Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lone Rock, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Lone Rock who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type 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 driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
