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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Milltown who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on 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 neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
