Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Solon Springs, WI.

This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates 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 effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
