Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Dickeyville, WI.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Dickeyville is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
