Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Brokaw, WI.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Brokaw is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
