Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Walworth, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Walworth who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
