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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone 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 become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Ferryville is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
