Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Camp Douglas, WI.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors 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 have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Camp Douglas is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
