Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Lublin, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Lublin who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis 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. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
