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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. 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 extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have 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 which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in De Soto is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
