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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Mikana who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
