Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ashippun, WI.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Ashippun is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
