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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Wauzeka who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
