Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Tripoli, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Tripoli who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons 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.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
