Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Milladore, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Milladore who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
