Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Sturgeon Bay who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
