Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Mindoro, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Mindoro who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to 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 successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
