Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Weyerhaeuser, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Weyerhaeuser who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging 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 since detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
