Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Withee, WI.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Withee who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking 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 and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People 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 challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
