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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Rothschild who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
