Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Beaver Dam, WI.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to get 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, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Beaver Dam is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
