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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is 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 crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Franklin is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
