Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Butler, WI.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate 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 method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Butler is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
