Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Waukesha who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
