Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Cobb, WI.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Cobb is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
