Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Van Dyne, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Van Dyne who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was caused 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 which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
