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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Sinsinawa who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
