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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than 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 therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Columbus is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
