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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Menomonie who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
