Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Danbury, WI.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Danbury is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
