Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Wolbach, NE.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Wolbach who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to 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 replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
