Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Seneca, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Seneca who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
