Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Waupaca who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors 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 have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
