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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Cornucopia is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
