Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Sun Prairie who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance 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 detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
