Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Williams Bay, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Williams Bay who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
